Weekend Wrap Up

A four day weekend of zero plans was exactly what I needed. I slept in, I spent a good chunk of my mornings leisurely walking around my neighborhood without listening to music or a podcast. I made myself breakfast and watched two doves hang out on the backyard fence. I went to the local bookstore and meandered for a few hours but didn’t buy anything. One day I drove a half hour away to enjoy the stillness and peace of a local nature preserve. One day I spent the majority of the day by the pool, swimming laps, back floating and reading seven month old magazines. That night, I made a simple summer pasta and enjoyed the most delicious French baguette and a few glasses of wine. Day four, I did nothing. I read, I went on another walk, dinner was leftovers and I enjoyed a nostalgic summer movie. It was an extended weekend of nothing and it was everything I needed. To more silence and doing nothing, just intentionally taking time off to do just that.
